A mildly angsty story, with no alternate world: pure historical romance, palace intrigue, and a lust for power!
Not a rebirth story, no plagiarism, purely fictional. Please don’t compare it to history!
Synopsis:
She is Ye Chuxue, a princess of the Rouran. Until the age of six, like her mother, she was indifferent to all people and things, seeking only the peace she longed for in her heart.
But at six, she witnessed her mother being falsely accused of adultery and taking her own life. Afterward, she learned to manipulate people’s hearts, trying to survive in the man-eating imperial harem…
At fourteen, she was forced into a political marriage and sent far away to Great Wei.
He is Xiao Jingtian, the sixth prince of Great Wei, dismissed as a “good-for-nothing.” Spoiled by his mother, he was named crown prince at birth. But his mother, Consort Rou, was the daughter of Emperor Weiyuan and a woman of extreme ambition and a fiercely possessive nature. As a result, Emperor Weiyuan came to regard him as a threat overnight, granted him the title of prince, and moved him out of the palace. Just when he thought he had finally escaped his mother’s maddening need to control him, he discovered that everything was only just beginning…
And so, after careful consideration, Emperor Weiyuan betrothed the two, and they were married…
At their first meeting, he was filled with resentment and hurled every filthy insult he could think of at her in front of everyone!
And before all those watching, she answered his resentment with a slap…
Thus the two went from unwillingness, even mutual loathing, to understanding and cherishing each other, supporting one another all the way.
At last, just as Ye Chuxue had finally found someone to care about and wanted to join hands with Xiao Jingtian to unite the realm and reshape this chaotic age, the secret poisoning by Emperor Weiyuan and Consort Rou caused her to suffer a fatal hemorrhage after giving birth…
Very beautiful, with clear logic and distinct characters.
